A compost tumbler worked better for our small yard than an open pile. It kept things contained and looked cleaner. It still needs attention, but pests were less of a problem.
It is worth it if you manage the balance. Too many food scraps and not enough dry leaves or cardboard can smell. Browns are what saved our compost from becoming gross.
